I saw talk before the match of Arsene setting up to go with an attacking gameplay having secured victories at City and United this season playing a much more compact game than usual. It was no surprise, given those two results, that once again we set our stall at Old Trafford to defend first and […]

Manchester United versus Arsenal, and neither side can win the title. Those are words that have not applied to this fixture too many times over the last twenty years. Not that this match is insignificant at all. The runners-up spot in the League will almost certainly be Manchester City’s if they can beat Swansea away […]

This has been a strange day for Arsenal news wise. Most amusing is the story that we are set to profit by around £3m if Barcelona beat Juventus in the Champions League Final as a result of a clause in the Thomas Vermaelen deal. Of course that is made more remarkable by the fact that […]

We can ensure automatic Champions League group phase qualification with […]

It is really difficult trying to work out how to review a game. Sometimes a simple match report seems appropriate. How many people will have watched it? Try and build a picture for those that didn’t. Then there are nights like tonight. On social media it seemed as if everyone was watching us bid to […]

A weekend of mixed news for followers of Arsenal saw Manchester United drop valuable home points, Chelsea secure the Premier League title with three matches to play, and Manchester City to keep up the pressure in the battle for the runners-up berth with a win at the neighbours.

Another guest post for you this evening. A topical piece from our very own Snowy (good man Snowy!) on an aspect of commercialism that loomed large this week. Don’t just look away. Snowy makes a number of valid points and we aren’t playing until Monday night so take time to read the piece and comment, […]
